ROSEMARY LEMONADE (SPIKED!!)

on Monday, May 5, 2008

Nothing screams summer-time more to me than a nice cold glass of lemonade! It's refreshing and it really quenches your thirst on a hot afternoon. Now, add a savory and subtle kick of rosemary, and you have a fantastic twist on this traditional drink!
We all know how good lemon and rosemary pair together in cooking, but who knew it would be just as good in a drink? So, if you like these two flavor combinations, please give this a try, one sip and you'll be smitten!!!

But now wait! theres more! by simply adding one shot of Limoncello to this tasty lemonade you've now created a crisp and delicious summer cocktail fit for any special occasion, or a special treat just for yourself. :D


You'll need a cocktail shaker to combine the juice of 1 lemon, 4 TBL. of sugar (or less), a pinch of rosemary leaves, some ice cubes, and enough cold water to fill. If using Limoncello, pour one shot into the shaker also. Shake well and pour into a tall glass lined with thin slices of lemons.


Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary, and a thick slice of lemon. Serve immediately!
